Chapter 37 Brady walks into a trap (1)
When Ariel saw Alfred holding the wooden sword and rushing towards the two puppets, she couldn't help but exclaim.
Although Cecilia said nothing, she was also feeling nervous.
Next, it was Alfred's turn to defeat the two puppets with a gorgeous fight.
Their worries were completely unnecessary.
"Ah... This is how it turned out... Al, that idiot..."
While everyone was speechless due to shock, Rose held her head and muttered to herself.
She watched Alfred emerge safely from the smoke and dust. She first breathed a sigh of relief, but soon a distressed expression appeared on her face.
"Rose, have you anticipated this situation?!"
Aeril grabbed Rose's shoulders and shook her vigorously, and asked before Cecilia.
"Ah, ahahaha... I, I knew Al would definitely want to fight the puppet himself, but, but I didn't expect him to go this far."
Rose gave a troubled laugh.
"If I had known he would do something so dangerous, I should have stopped him from participating in the duel."
"What, what does this mean?! If you are so strong, there is no need for you to come to Illya Arya to be a puppeteer. You can just go to the Imperial School of Magicians or the Knights School, right?"
Cecilia also agreed with Aeril's idea.
Although it is said that the Empire highly respects puppeteers.
But if he had Alfred's talent, he would have achieved brilliant success even as a knight or a magician.
“Ahahaha, um, that’s because…”
Rose stuttered and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
(It’s because of Rose that Junior Alfred came to Illya Arya…)
Cecilia grabbed Aeril by the collar and told her to pay more attention to her words and expressions.
Aeril looked at Cecilia and showed an understanding expression.
"Ah, could it be that because you're here, Rose, that Al-chan entered Illya Alia?!"
(Aeril, you idiot...)
Cecilia covered her face with her hands, feeling troubled by the fact that her cute childhood friend and schoolmate always lost touch with the subject in strange ways.
"Ah... well, I think so."
Rose lowered her blushing cheeks and confirmed Aeril's words.
Her expression made Aeril smile mischievously.
Cecilia covered Aeril's mouth before she could speak, and said with a stiff smile.
"The duel is over. Although I don't think that Junior Alfred will be injured, we should still go and greet him. If there are any minor injuries, I will trouble you with your healing magic, Rose."
"If you don't mind, can I come over too? I'm actually pretty good at healing magic."
Rosalie, who was sitting not far from the three of them, took the initiative to suggest.
The three girls in her class, Liliana, Elaje and Adelaide, had different expressions but seemed to be planning to come along.
By the way, Leonard seemed to be nervous about sitting alone with so many beautiful girls, so he sat somewhere else to watch the duel with a few other boys he knew.
Cecilia just saw that he had left the auditorium to find Alfred.
"If possible, we would also like to go see that idiot."
Liliana said on behalf of the three.
(…It seems that Alfred has unexpected talent for being a playboy. Sigh, I feel like Rose will have a hard time in the future.)
Cecilia sighed in her heart and agreed to go with the three of them.
Just as the group was about to set off, Morgan, having come to his senses, announced the end of the duel.
Then, there was a boy's angry shout.
?◇?◇?◇?◇?
After listening to the class instructor, Megan E. Bradley's lengthy introduction to college life and various miscellaneous precautions in the morning.
Brady, accompanied by Mark and Dutt, came to the student cafeteria for dinner.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, the three saw the very eye-catching Alfred.
He was having lunch with many cute girls with outstanding looks (Reynard: Hey, I'm here too!), including the Duke, the daughter of a northern border baron and other young ladies, as well as the beautiful seniors from the student union.
This scene made Brady gasp in amazement.
"U-Uh, Brady, I think we should keep a little distance from them."
Dutt seemed a little timid and suggested hesitantly.
"Why do you say that suddenly?!"
Brady looked at him unhappily and asked.
"Well, how should I put it? The aura of their table is really too strong. And aren't we all sitting at a distance from them? If we sit too close, we will attract attention, right?"
(Well, I’m the son of a hero, so I’m naturally very eye-catching, so this little thing doesn’t really matter, right?)
Although Brady thought so in his heart, he didn't say it out loud.
"I, I agree with Duterte. After all, those girls are cute, but they're not our type, right?"
Mark seemed to notice that Brady was angry, so he opened his mouth and tried to comfort him.
"Brady, weren't you also approached by classmate Willeaf today? Why don't we invite her and her friends to have lunch together tomorrow?"
"Tsk, let's go."
Brady glanced at Alfred and the others unhappily, then went to the ordering window indignantly.
Although they had just met for the first time in Illya and Arya, there had never been any conversation between the two.
But Brady hated Alfred very much, and even more he hated and envied the Elect family where he was born.
The Elect family's presence in the empire is very subtle.
On the one hand, the Electa family, together with the Christiana family, are the two oldest ducal families in the empire. They are also the two major contributors to the establishment of the Elizabethan royal family and the descendants of Queen Elizabeth's half-siblings.
However, when the Elect family was first established, no family member had made any noteworthy achievements in the field of puppeteers.
It would be better to say that this family simply does not have the talent to become puppeteers.
This made some nobles despise the Elect family, even though their status was higher than theirs and their title was duke.
But even in this day and age, the Elect family still has a significant influence on the entire empire.
The first head of the Duke of Elect was once the empire's chief financial officer and had once served as the empire's prime minister.
Starting from his son, the second Duke of Elect, the Elect family has been very keen on engaging in economic undertakings and has achieved extremely brilliant results.
